Please block Staples merger to allow competitors to continue to thrive. Competition is healthy for the economy. Saving billionaires money only stagnates the economy further which is already stagnated from the top 1%, who continues to stash profits in offshore accounts and continue to avoid taxes. If this continues the US will continue to drown in debt if we keep protecting the billionaires and millionaires. The spending power of the average US citizen will continue to decrease and will eventually hurt overall sales which would eventually force billionaires to create another merger. Thanks Andres
